FREELANCE translator and LOCALIZATION EXPERT

I am a freelance translator, reviewer and project manager with a university degree in history and philology (Magistra Artium). I have 16 years of experience in the translation and localisation business and a strong background in multilingual project management. I worked and lived in the UK for 2 years and - although living in Germany at the moment - speak English at home on a daily basis and have done so for more than six years.

My language services include translation, localization, transcreation, review, proofreading, linguistic quality assurance, project management and SEO translation.

I am experienced with Asian English and my specialist areas are IT (software, hardware, marketing, websites, press releases) and video games (in-games, marketing, packaging, websites, press releases; all genres, all platforms).

But look for yourself - here are three lists of jobs I did in the past sorted by subject area or - in case of miscellaneous jobs - the lack thereof: IT, games and the wild bunch.

There's always a but, isn't there?

So I am saying that I deliver quality translations and that I am always on time. But don't other translators and agencies claim the same?

Exactly. That's what they do. That's what we all do. Everybody out there delivers high quality and never ever misses a single deadline. And everybody charges hardly anything for exceptional services because all of the really good translators do not need to earn money to make ends meet. Right.


I trust your judgement on this logic.

So how to get out of this dilemma? If you like here is some nice-to-read information about what to look for when buying translation services: Translation - getting it right. A guide to buying translations.

At the end of the day I am afraid for language services the proof of the pudding is always in the eating.
I say I do do quality. And I say I do do it on time. Try me.
